Raquel Franco: “Poetry is a form of healing for me. I used to write for myself but as I saw other artists sharing their work and the impact their story had on others, my objective changed. Instagram is a way to quickly connect with a stranger or a friend and let them know it’s going to be okay, and they are not alone in their struggle.” (web)
